[quote=Anonymous]Though at or above grade-level in math and reading our 7 year old really struggles to begin and complete writing assignments in class (4-6 sentence expectation). Teacher has used visual prompts and sentence starters with little success. When I talk with them they say that they want to write and that they know the content they need in order to write. The problem is they have too many ideas in their head and they can’t get started because they are thinking about which to use. They have a hyperactive ADHD diagnosis but no meds or specific outside therapy yet. They are pretty sensitive to mistakes, exclusion and losing so maybe some anxiety around being wrong? Curious if you think this sounds consistent with ADHD and if anyone has dealt with a similar manifestation and has suggestions I can give the teacher (and use at home) that might help. [/quote]
